Facebook Takes On LinkedIn With New Job Listing Feature
Facebook is launching a new initiative to take on job listing sites like LinkedIn and Glassdoor. Cheddar Senior Reporter Alex Heath spoke with Facebook VP of Local Alex Himel about the launch of this product in an exclusive interview.
"Local is about building tools for connecting people and businesses," said Himel. "We're working on a lot more tools where users can find what they are looking for."
Facebook announced plans Wednesday to expand its job listing feature to more than 40 countries.
"We've seen good results for businesses, and we've seen a lot of people able to find work," said Himel.
American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
